....not from you, this time.

An antidote for self pity.

Life is straight forward

people cause complications

mostly self-inflicted.

So you thought

there wouldn’t be consequences

but you weren’t really thinking

nor were you understanding

that cause leads to effect.

Didn’t you realise

that your conscience

would at some point

accuse and judge

and that you would

experience guilt 

and the foreboding 

sense of looming judgement.

Feeling sorry for yourself

blaming all and everyone

seeking release

but finding despair

hoping for comfort

where there is none.

The mocking bird

has flown in

and circles your mind

there is laughter

there is derision

but not from you

this time.
